After last month's tournament played, for the most part, in the rain, the skies looked favorably upon our 2011 Lentils & sausage Picnic and Panaché Open. The turn-out was quite large with some 45 players and approximately 60 people enjoying the food.
This was also the first tournament to feature LPM's brand new scoreboards.
